[Year 12 SofDev] Evaluation vs testing

[Mark KELLY]

Hi all.

While marking U4O2, I am increasingly worried about kids' confusion of
testing and evaluation. When asked for evaluation methods, many are
basically doing testing again. It can be hard to get them to understand the
difference between the two operations.

I've made a handout that tries to distinguish between them (attached) but if
anyone has a never-fail ripsnorter technique of getting it into kids' heads,
I'd love to hear it.
